Apologies for absence were received from David Nicklin.

A copy of the Register of Interest for each Selby District Councillor is available for inspection at www.selby.gov.uk.

Board members should declare to the meeting any disclosable pecuniary interest in any item of business on this agenda which is not (in the case of Selby District Councillors) already entered in their Register of Interests.

Board members should leave the meeting and take no part in the consideration, discussion or vote on any matter in which they have a disclosable pecuniary interest.

Board members should also declare any other interests. Having made the declaration, provided the other interest is not a disclosable pecuniary interest, the member may stay in the meeting, speak and vote on that item of business.

If in doubt, Board members are advised to seek advice from the Monitoring Officer.

There were none.

To confirm as a correct record the minutes of the previous Funding Sub-Committee held on 5 September 2017.

The Sub-Committee considered the minutes of the meeting held on 5 September 2017.

RESOLVED:

To confirm as a correct record the minutes of the Funding Sub-Committee meeting held on 5 September 2017.

To note the Funding Framework against which funding applications will be considered.

The funding framework had been circulated with the agenda, and was noted.

To consider funding applications received.

14.1 – Brotherton Parish Council

The application was for £2,700 for a community defibrillator.

The Sub-Committee considered the application against the funding framework for and confirmed that it met the requirements, specifically:

·         That the application met at least two of the Community Development Plan (CDP) objectives (improving the quality of life for individuals across the Western CEF area and trialling new ideas that would benefit local residents and improve the local area).

·         That the project would benefit the Community Engagement Forum (CEF) area including residents of the area; and

·         That the project would have extensive and detailed benefits for one or more defined groups in the CEF area.

Members of the Funding Sub-Committee acknowledged that other Parish Councils who had already installed defibrillators had been able to purchase the equipment for a lower price than was costed in the application. As such, the Funding Sub-Committee recommended that a grant of £1,000 should be awarded to the Parish Council, not the full amount of £2,700.

RESOLVED:

To recommend to the Partnership Board that a grant of £1,000 be approved towards delivery of the work as outlined in the application.

Reasons for decision:

The application met the requirements of the funding framework and the Funding Sub Committee was supportive of the application.
